ATLANTA (February 5, 2020) – The National Association for Business Resources has named Rural Sourcing as one of the Best and Brightest Companies To Work For in the Nation. The award recognizes Rural Sourcing’s commitment to creating a culture that fosters collaboration and career growth for its colleagues. This is the second year Rural Sourcing has appeared on the prestigious national list.
As a mission-focused organization, Rural Sourcing is creating IT jobs in middle America. With six development centers, the company and its colleagues are making a positive impact on the community and the country. And others have taken notice. Over the past decade, the company has received numerous workplace awards—both on the local and national level—demonstrating the company’s commitment to delivering the best for its colleagues and customers.
“We have a great team at Rural Sourcing,” said Monty Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing. “Through the strength of our agile teams, we are raising the bar for onshore software delivery.
With increased speed and quality, our U.S.-based developers not only meet the needs of our clients, but they are making a difference in the communities where they live. Our teams are passionate about Rural Sourcing’s mission and it shows in their work.”
In the technology industry, there is a constant struggle to find talent. Rural Sourcing has become an answer for many FORTUNE 1000 companies and high growth tech companies that are looking for quality and security while staying within budget.
“With the war on talent hitting the doorsteps of the Best and Brightest, this achievement means even more than it did a year ago. As we continue to raise the bar, these companies rise to the challenge through cultural innovation, maximizing their workforce potential,” said Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs.
The Best and Brightest Program honored 540 national winning organizations from across the country out of 5,000 nominations. In addition to honoring all national winners, the top 101 highest scoring national winning companies were also announced. Elite awards are presented to the highest winning companies that demonstrated exceptional innovative human resource practices and set high standards for all businesses during this year’s National Best and Brightest Summit. The elite categories include: Compensation, Benefits and Employee Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment, Selection and Orientation; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Diversity and Inclusion; Work-Life Balance; Community Initiatives; Strategic Company Performance, and the Best of the Best: Small Business, Medium Business, and Large Business.
